Robin Wright has said she resonated with a story about “human resilience” as she was looking for her first film to direct.

The House Of Cards star, 55, plays a woman dealing with life-altering loss and grief who decides to remove herself from society to embark on a solitary existence living off-grid in the remote mountain wilderness of Wyoming in the movie Land, which is also her feature directing debut.
